COMPLETE/GSR. Sometimes the only solution to an unsolvable problem is simply to TRY. Some of what we saw and most of what we didn't see of Grissom and Sara's relationship in seasons 6 and 7. Canon-compliant.

PART 24: WHERE REUNIONS ARE SWEET

After making the rounds with appropriate small talk, checking in with the team, and sorting through his mail, Grissom made his way out on the steps where no one would know to look for them. And he sent her one last text: I'm hiding. Come find me.

She was there in minutes, her hair wet from the shower where she'd just spent a long time scrubbing off the smell and grime. There was only a moment of hesitation between them.

She leapt at him, nearly throwing him off balance. And then she cried as he began to laugh, both reactions borne of their relief. They clung to each other, not moving, not speaking, allowing all the tension to flow out of them.

They would be okay. They were okay.
